Hundreds have been injured and the death toll is expected to rise, local government said. Hospitals in the Cianjur district have been overwhelmed, and an estimated 2,000 homes have been destroyed.
The National Disaster Mitigation Agency said 151 people are still missing and 1,083 were injured in the quake.
Many patients are being treated in tents and doctors are struggling with power shortages, often working by torchlight. Other victims have been treated in car parks, the local authorities said.
Many of the dead were killed in landslides or when their homes collapsed, said Dwikorita Karnawati, the head of Indonesia's meteorology and geophysics agency.
Searches are continuing for people thought to be trapped in the rubble of collapsed buildings, an effort being hampered by dozens of aftershocks, the authorities said.
Indonesia’s bureau of meteorology has also warned that more landslides can be expected.
"Everything collapsed beneath me and I was crushed beneath this child," Cucu, a 48-year-old resident, told Reuters, from the crowded hospital car park.
"Two of my kids survived, I dug them up ... Two others I brought here, and one is still missing," she said through tears.
On Tuesday morning, hundreds of police officers had been sent to assist the rescue efforts, said police spokesman Dedi Prasetyo.
"Today's main task order for personnel is to focus on evacuating victims," he told the Antara state news agency.
The authorities were operating "under the assumption that the number of injured and dead will rise with time", he said.
Henri Alfiandi, head of the National Search and Rescue Agency, said the challenge was that "the affected area is spread out ... On top of that, the roads in these villages are damaged".
"Most of the casualties are children, because at 1pm they were still at school," he said of the time the quake hit.
His agency confirmed that 162 people had died and more than 13,000 people had been evacuated.
Cianjur's police chief told the Metro TV news channel that 20 people had been evacuated from the Cugenang area so far. Most of these people later died, with residents still reporting missing family members.
The area was hit by a landslide triggered by the quake, blocking access to the area.
"At least six of my relatives are still unaccounted for: three adults and three children," said Zainuddin, a Cugenang resident.
"If it was just an earthquake only the houses would collapse, but this is worse because of the landslide. In this residential area there were eight houses, all of which were buried and swept away."
The earthquake, which struck at a depth of just 10km and was felt strongly in the capital Jakarta about 75km away, damaged at least 2,200 homes and displaced more than 5,000 people, the National Agency for Disaster Countermeasure said.
Straddling the so-called Ring of Fire, a seismically active zone where different plates on the Earth's crust meet, Indonesia has a history of devastating earthquakes.
In 2004, a 9.1-magnitude quake off Sumatra in northern Indonesia triggered a tsunami that struck 14 countries, killing 226,000 people along the Indian Ocean coastline, more than half of them in Indonesia.

Direct flights from the UAE to the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu, are available with Air Arabia, (www.airarabia.com) Fly Dubai (www.flydubai.com) or Etihad (www.etihad.com) from Dh1,200 return including taxes. The trek described here started from Jomson, but there are many other start and end point variations depending on how you tailor your trek. To get to Jomson from Kathmandu you must first fly to the lake-side resort town of Pokhara with either Buddha Air (www.buddhaair.com) or Yeti Airlines (www.yetiairlines.com). Both charge around US$240 (Dh880) return. From Pokhara there are early morning flights to Jomson with Yeti Airlines or Simrik Airlines (www.simrikairlines.com) for around US$220 (Dh800) return.
The trek
Restricted area permits (US$500 per person) are required for trekking in the Upper Mustang area. The challenging Meso Kanto pass between Tilcho Lake and Jomson should not be attempted by those without a lot of mountain experience and a good support team. An excellent trekking company with good knowledge of Upper Mustang, the Annaurpuna Circuit and Tilcho Lake area and who can help organise a version of the trek described here is the Nepal-UK run Snow Cat Travel (www.snowcattravel.com). Prices vary widely depending on accommodation types and the level of assistance required.
How Apple's credit card works
The Apple Card looks different from a traditional credit card — there's no number on the front and the users' name is etched in metal. The card expands the company's digital Apple Pay services, marrying the physical card to a virtual one and integrating both with the iPhone. Its attributes include quick sign-up, elimination of most fees, strong security protections and cash back.
What does it cost?
Apple says there are no fees associated with the card. That means no late fee, no annual fee, no international fee and no over-the-limit fees. It also said it aims to have among the lowest interest rates in the industry. Users must have an iPhone to use the card, which comes at a cost. But they will earn cash back on their purchases — 3 per cent on Apple purchases, 2 per cent on those with the virtual card and 1 per cent with the physical card. Apple says it is the only card to provide those rewards in real time, so that cash earned can be used immediately.
What will the interest rate be?
The card doesn't come out until summer but Apple has said that as of March, the variable annual percentage rate on the card could be anywhere from 13.24 per cent to 24.24 per cent based on creditworthiness. That's in line with the rest of the market, according to analysts
What about security?
The physical card has no numbers so purchases are made with the embedded chip and the digital version lives in your Apple Wallet on your phone, where it's protected by fingerprints or facial recognition. That means that even if someone steals your phone, they won't be able to use the card to buy things.
Is it easy to use?
Apple says users will be able to sign up for the card in the Wallet app on their iPhone and begin using it almost immediately. It also tracks spending on the phone in a more user-friendly format, eliminating some of the gibberish that fills a traditional credit card statement. Plus it includes some budgeting tools, such as tracking spending and providing estimates of how much interest could be charged on a purchase to help people make an informed decision.
